Optimal morphology the 1st example that carries out an invention
With reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, the tracking servo signal pattern for magnetic disk device wiring method of the present invention's the 1st example is described.The inscape identical with the prior art example, additional same numeral also omits explanation.
At first, identical with the prior art example, use servo magnetic route write device, the disk of disk set is driven along the rotation of arrow 520 directions, simultaneously, use the special-purpose magnetic head 12 of the incorporate playback that has the assigned position relation mutually and write head 14 of disk set, under servo magnetic route write device control, as shown in Figure 1, in initial first changes with the width record first burst signal 181a of write head 14.Then, along the position of arrow 510 directions change write head 14, in next changes, with the width record second burst signal 191a of write head 14.Its formation is, when this second burst signal of record 191a is rotated, the part of write head 14 is scanned a part of 181b of the first burst signal 181a, eliminates a part of 181b of the first burst signal 181a when scanning, thereby obtains first burst signal 181 of standard servo track width.
Equally, change the position of write head 14, in next changes with the width record first burst signal 182a of write head 14.Its formation is that when this second burst signal of record 182a was rotated, the part of write head 14 was scanned a part of 191b of the second burst signal 191a.When scanning, a part of 191b of the cancellation second burst signal 191a thus, obtains second burst signal 191 of standard servo track width.Repeat said process, under servo magnetic route write device control, assigned position on disk, first burst signal 181,182 of correct recording prescribed servo track width ... with second burst signal 191,192 ...
Then, disk set separates with servo magnetic route write device, under the control system control of disk set itself, by playback head 12 playback first burst signal 181 and second burst signals 191.The position of control playback head 12 makes the level ratio of this two replay signal be respectively requirement ratio, simultaneously by assigned position relation and incorporate write head 14 being arranged with this playback head 12, with with the same order of record first burst signal 181 and second burst signal 191, as shown in Figure 2, write down the 3rd burst signal 201 and the 4th burst signal 211.The 3rd burst signal 201 and first burst signal 181 and second burst signal 191 have the assigned position relation, and the 4th burst signal 211 and first burst signal 182 and second burst signal 192 have the assigned position relation.
That is, its formation is that in first changeed, with width record the 3rd burst signal 201a of write head 14, when being rotated for record the 4th burst signal 211a, the part of write head 14 was scanned a part of 201b of the 3rd burst signal 201a next time.When scanning, a part of 201b of cancellation the 3rd burst signal 201a thus, obtains the 3rd burst signal 201 of standard servo track width.Equally, when being rotated for record the 3rd burst signal 202a, a part of 211b of cancellation the 4th burst signal 211a thus, obtains the 4th burst signal 211 of standard servo track width.Repeat said sequence, can be at the 3rd burst signal 201,202 of the correct recording prescribed servo track of assigned position width ... with the 4th burst signal 211,212 ...
According to this example, only write down first burst signal 181,182 with servo magnetic route write device ... with second burst signal 191,192 ... thereby with also write down the 3rd burst signal 101,102 ... with the 4th burst signal 111,112 ... the prior art example compare, the utilization ratio of servo magnetic route write device is increased to more than two times at least.Again, the 3rd burst signal and the 4th burst signal figure be respectively by the control system record of disk set itself, thereby needn't consider the utilization ratio of special devices such as servo magnetic route write device specially.The 2nd example
Then, with reference to Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B, the tracking servo signal pattern wiring method of the disk set of this example 2 is illustrated.
Identical with example 1, under servo magnetic route write device control, record first burst signal 381,382 on disk ... with second burst signal 391,392 ...In this example, at first, in the record first burst signal 381a, record the 3rd burst signal 400a and the 4th burst signal 410a on disk.Required time is the time sum that positioning time and disk rotated for 1 week for this reason.Then, in the record second burst signal 391a, record the 3rd burst signal 401a and the 4th burst signal 411a on disk.Required time still is the time sum that positioning time and disk rotated for 1 week for this reason.
As a result, as shown in Figure 3A, formerly on the part of Ji Lu the 3rd burst signal 400a, duplicate record the then part of the 3rd burst signal 401a of record.And formerly on the part of the 4th burst signal 410 of record, duplicate record the then part of the 4th burst signal 411a of record.Thus, the 3rd burst signal and the 4th burst signal are recorded as separately at the continuous figure of disk diametric(al).In addition, the 3rd burst signal of duplicate record is consistent with the phase place that the 3rd burst signal and the 4th burst signal of the 4th burst signal and precedence record write down.
Thereafter, disk set separates with servo magnetic route write device, under disk set self control system control,, obtain the 3rd burst signal and the 4th burst signal of Rack by not needing part in write head 14 cancellations the 3rd burst signal and the 4th burst signal row graph.Promptly, by playback head 12, reset first burst signal 381 and second burst signal 391, the position of control playback head 12, make this two replay signal level ratio be requirement ratio, by a part of 400b of write head 14 cancellations the 3rd burst signal 400a, shown in Fig. 3 B, can obtain the 3rd burst signal 401 of Rack simultaneously.Equally, a part of 410b of cancellation the 4th burst signal 411a obtains the 4th burst signal 411 of Rack.
Again, reset first burst signal 382 and second burst signal 392, the position of control playback head 12 makes this two replay signal level ratio be requirement ratio, by a part of 402b of write head 14 cancellations the 3rd burst signal 402a, thereby obtains the 3rd burst signal 402 of Rack.Equally, a part of 411b of cancellation the 4th burst signal 412a obtains the 4th burst signal 412 of Rack.Repeat above-mentioned steps, on assigned position, form the 3rd burst signal 401,402 of roughly stipulating the servo track width ... with the 4th burst signal 411,412 ...
In this way, between for example the 3rd burst signal 402 and the 4th burst signal 411,, can produce gap 15 because of the relation of servo track width and write head width in the disk diametric(al).But to compare its width little because of the gap 15 and the width of playback head 12, thereby no problem in the practicality.By making the write head width approach servo track width 2/3, can make gap 15 littler.
According to this example, also available servo magnetic route write device writes down first burst signal 381,382 ... with second burst signal 391,392 ... and on its recording track extended line the record the 3rd burst signal figure 400a, 401a ... with the 4th burst signal figure 410a, 411a ...The 3rd final burst signal 401,402 ... with the 4th burst signal 411,412 ... the control of each comfortable disk set self control system down, wipe and form by magnetic head, thereby needn't consider the service efficiency of special devices such as servo magnetic route write device, the utilization ratio of servo magnetic route write device is increased to more than two times at least.
In the invention process form, be that example is illustrated with one group or two groups of burst signals.But the invention is not restricted to this, much less also can be by this writing station that writes tracking servo signal of servo magnetic route write device, behind at least one group of burst signal of the many groups of record burst signal on the disk, under the control of disk set self control system, by the magnetic head of disk set self, Unrecorded burst signal in a plurality of burst signals of record on disk.
Utilizability on the industry
Using and state bright the present invention, is servo magnetic route write device with expensive device only, record first He Second burst signal, or record first and second burst signals and record on the extended line of its recording track The 3rd burst signal figure and the 4th burst signal figure, thereby the utilization ratio of servo magnetic route write device is extremely Can be increased to more than two times less. Form final by the magnetic head record of separately disk set self or cancellation The 3rd burst signal and the 4th burst signal, thus needn't consider especially the special dresses such as servo magnetic route write device The utilization ratio of putting.
Thus, can seek the rationalization of disk set production process, be conducive to reduce price.
